Owning an iPhone doesn't mean to be an investment accounting to me. This had turned to be status symbol, even the person who doesn't have proper shelter holds an iPhone. This is the reality happening around the world, mainly in the third world countries. The market movement is directly connected with the economy too. An investment should appreciate in value whereas an iPhone keeps depreciating.

Most people that makes use of iPhone don't even use it for anything that can generate money for them. I don't have problem with people using iPhone but if an iPhone can't in anyway generate money for it users it is a complete liability. The worse thing about people using an iPhone is that they don't really know the function of the phone, it is only used for formality. The reason why I think IPhone is a waste of money is because it does not add value to it users instead it reduce it value. Everything about the device is expensive, maintenance and repairs of components of the device.

Actually, I think having an iPhone can make things easier and more profitable for the owner or in other words it can give someone a good additional income if they are able to think creatively to utilize the features and advantages of various Apple products in a visionary way.
Yes you are right, I don't know, but according to my observations from the environment and society around me and what I often see, in fact most of the people who have or are always upgrading the latest iPhone products, most of them don't look at the device to take advantage of the advantages of the product. They only use iPhones for activities like other smartphones, such as only being used for selfies, chatting, listening to music, receiving calls and watching videos, etc. which in fact all smartphones can do.
In my opinion, the desire of some of these people to own or buy smartphone products from Apple is just to prove or want to be seen or want to be acknowledged that they are rich people, people who follow the market trend for expensive smartphones or I more often say they are just buying the prestige or privilege of Apple products without being able to take full advantage of their advantages.
Yes, although I am aware that it is the right of each individual, but I feel if they are like that they cannot make good use of their goods or money wisely.
